Important Safety Instructions
Proper disposal of your appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous – even if they
will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting
rid of your appliance, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old unit:
• Remove lid.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualied
service technician.
• Remove and discard any spacers used
to secure the internal features during
shipping. Small objects are a choke
hazard to children.
• Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts and also
destroy nishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
IMPORTANT
Your old unit may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or
HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons or
hydrochlorouorocarbons). CFCs and
HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric
ozone if released to the atmosphere.
Other refrigerants may cause harm to the
environment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old unit,
make sure the refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualied service
technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to nes
and imprisonment under the provisions of
environmental legislation.
